Garden of Eve Face Care Sampler Kit- Calm-for redness associated with Rosacea / Acne Rosacea / Sensitive(Certified Organic Ingredients) Fragrance-Free (No synthetic ingredients)

During the winter I suffer from extremely dry skin - no matter what I do to avoid it. When my face is dry, it has a tendency to get red and ruddy and I often end up with small red bumps or blotches in my T-zone. I have tried a number of different products, most of which only seem to make the condition worse. I decided to try this after seeing that it got very good ratings on the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database. The prices caused a bit of sticker shock, but I am starting to learn that you get what you pay for when it comes to beauty products...Face Cream - the Calm face cream is incredibly rich with a light scent. After a few weeks of use, the ruddiness of my winter complexion has definitely subsided. I have had fewer dry spots and breakouts. It does not leave my skin feeling greasy, and even though the cream is thick, it goes on smoothly and does not feel heavy when applied.Toner - I LOVE this toner. I love the fact that it can be sprayed directly on your face (eyes closed of course) or sprayed onto a wipe and applied that way. It is alcohol free so it doesn't dry out your skin or burn upon application.Replenish Eye Cream - the eye cream is also very rich but goes on smoothly and leaves no residue or greasy/heavy feeling. The puffiness and dark circles I often get underneath my eyes are not as noticeable - a plus in my book. A little goes a long way, so I would be more than happy to pay the price for a larger container once I finish the sample. Although I believe the sample of the eye cream will last me longer than any of the other products.Facial Cleansing Nectar - I also love this face wash. It is creamy and does not suds up, so it does not dry out my skin or leave my face feeling tight after use. I use this product every other day, as washing my face too frequently dries it out. One little pump from the sample size is usually enough to do the job, so a little goes a long way!Facial Cleanse/Mask - this mask is okay. In the few months I've had these products I've only used the mask once or twice. It comes as a dry powder and you have to add a little water, then apply to your skin - that's likely why I haven't used it more. It's easy to misjudge the ratio of powder to water and then end up with too much, which ends up going to waste. It does, however, work nicely as a light exfoliant for getting rid of any dry or dead skin.Mud Party - this is the only product I would not purchase again. This mud mask greatly disagreed with my skin. Upon application, it caused a severe burning sensation. I left it on temporarily, to see if the feeling might subside. It did not, so I washed it off immediately. Thankfully, I had no visible reaction - no redness or breakouts or anything. But I tossed the sample container and would not purchase this product again. It might work well for other people, but it did not for me personally.I am looking forward to purchasing the larger sizes of these products, and perhaps even trying a different line once the winter is no longer wreaking havoc on my skin.

I have horrible rosacea and see a dermatologist for this condition. I ordered this product because nothing the doctor was trying helped the redness. This product has made my skin soft and less red. The inflammation is gone!!!! I couldn't be happier with this product.
